I just committed something that might help in your case ( update 
macppc/macppc/autoconf.c and dev/pci/radeonfb.c ) - the reference clock 
stated by your firmware is what radeonfb would use as default, namely 
27MHz. It does however hardcode the reference divider when it can't get 
data from an x86 BIOS so I had it probe the divider - maybe that's what 
went wrong.

So, please try those changes.

have fun
Michael
